Well its been sitting in bits since the keyway gave up the ghost about 4 years ago....Here it is going back together

heres what its got:

Ported head

Trust plenum

HKS 264 10mm lift cams/springs/gears

HKS ex manifolds/dumps

HKS rods,CARR rods bolts

HKS pistons

HKS 25/30's

HKS head gasket

ARP head studs

Lightened Crank

OS quad plate clutch

Sard 720 injectors/trust fuel rails

Ive just spent 3 days smoothing all the casting off the inlets/plenum and matching them all up nicely,ground all the cast marks out of the inside of the block for nice oil return....what a nut buster

Looks nice.

When my engine was built I asked the question about smoothing the inside of the block but was told microscopic filings are caught in the block surface, and will always loosen over time and get into the oil. Was recommended to put the stuff they put on electric motors to hold the wires together (terminology?) inside the block to smoothen it.

I didnt bother!

Looks good though!

Are the welch plugs std steel or brass?

i finished off with fine grit belts...takes forever to wash it all out....although im sure the grout sticks on well....id rather do it the old way just incase grout starts flaking off..the plugs are steel,i rather be changing them down the track than rusting out other bits

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
